Maintenance Posts
Our refurbished back slipway has a concrete base at the bottom and a pair of maintenance posts that will allow access for a travel hoist as well as an area for maintenance between tides.

Customers wishing to use the slipway or maintenance posts must contact us to book in advance.

  • Customers using the posts will need to use them in according with the guidelines, and be aware that they use them at their own risk.
  • By booking you accept these conditions.
  • The fees for using the slip or posts are available on our Scale of Charges.
Moorings
Our saltmarsh site has 120 mud berths; these are natural berths, each of which has a timber staging which provides good shore access.

A well maintained network of footpaths and board walks provides easy access to the berths. Water access to the creek is dependent on the tide and the depth of the vessel – we enjoy between one/two hours either side of high tide.
